EU to Survive Energy Crisis: Slovenian Premier

The EU is set to navigate an energy crisis this winter without much difficulty according to Slovenian Premier Robert Golob.

• “We can survive a two-week cold spell without any particular problem, even four or six weeks,” he said, adding “We are better prepared than any other winter.”
• Blackouts across the EU are “totally out of the question,” said Golob.
• “In northern and central Europe it is absolutely clear the future is without Russian gas,” said Golob. “This would include Germany.”
• On price caps, he said they are “not something we can just step away from, adding that EU states will come to an agreement: “I am totally sure of that. It’s just a matter of how fast.”
